Re: RECENT TRIP TO ENGLAND
Health care is not a function of being a human.
Its not even a right.
The world has always been a jungle and will always be a jungle and the survival of the species is down to those most able - natural selection and evolution.
By compensating so much for the inadequacies of those less strong and less able who won't or cannot cope or refuse to help themselves or those who engage in destructive behavior and who are constantly bailed out by others, the human race is weakened and prevented from realizing its full potential.
The use of employers to funnel healthcare provision is a simple matter of logistics, scale and negotiating power.
Individuals have no leverage against large institutions and cannot negotiate the best terms. This is true in all other walks of life.
If the healthcare industry was to be fully opened up so there were no restrictions about location, perhaps co-operatives could be setup to negotiate terms for their members.

I asked you yesterday if you lived in the US...perhaps I should have asked you if you are living on the same planet as the rest of us?

OTOH, Planned Parenthood started out with the avowed aim of sterilising black folks and retards and is still going strong today.
* Harry Reid and Chuckie Schumer got the lions share, apparently.

Who between them dished out about $65m* to get their pet congresscritters elected - more than even the lawyers did. Source. So, as you say, no chance of a general program.

Our own Marie Stopes was also a eugenicist.

Re: RECENT TRIP TO ENGLAND
I've been through Stockport on the train - it didn't look too bad at all and looking at the place from the train window it looked as if there was plenty going on there - very busy. But I liked the look of Altrincham better - that place looked quite classy from what I could see of it. I wonder why Altrincham is pronounced the way it is and not how it is spelled? How did a "g" get in there?
